3.Ambient operating temperature shall be 32°F to 104°F (0 – 40 °C) non-condensing and IP-20 rated for indoor dry location use.

4.The LED substrate is coupled to a highly efficient heat sink and cooling system for prolonged life of the LEDs. LED fixture housing shall transfer heat from the LED board and associated electronics to the outside environment.

D.Electrical

The fixture shall be equipped with 100V to 240V 50/60 Hz auto-ranging internal power supply and requires power from a constant “non-dim” power source.
The fixture shall receive power from the track head mount or a hard wiredpower connection 5’-0” (1.5m) power cord with:
2 P&G (Stage Pin)
NEMA 5-15P
NEMA L520 (Twistlok)
Territory Power Plug

1.A local control keypad with a three digit LCD display shall be provided for configuration and control of:

a.DMX-512A Device Address

b.Fixture Personality

c.Stand Alone (Manual) Operation

2.It shall be possible to lock out the control keypad at the fixture to prevent accidental change in fixture configuration during operation. Locking and unlocking the control keypad shall be via predefined key sequence.

3.Each fixture shall be compatible with the USITT DMX512-A control protocol and ANSI E1.20-2006 Remote Device Management over DMX512-A (RDM) standard.DMX and RDM Control shall be connected via integral 6’ control leads with installed 5-Pin XLR input and output connectors for the portable units. Smart Track mounted units shall receive their data from the Track. Fixtures unable to meet this criteria shall not be accepted.

4.The DMX-512A device address for each fixture shall be user selectable.

5.It shall be possible to set the DMX-512A device address for the fixture while the fixture is installed and connected to the system via the RDM (ANSI E1.20-2006 protocol) and an appropriate device such as a PC or a handheld programmer.

6.Fixtures which do not allow for setting of the DMX address via both local controls at the fixture and remotely while installed via RDM shall not be accepted.

7.The fixture shall have an available “Master Channel” function to provide control of intensity without changing the color of the output of the fixture. The Master shall operate in either 8-bit or 16-bit resolution as defined by the configuration of the fixture.

8.The fixture shall have user selected personalities to correctly match response to the application and control system utilized. Personalities shall provide the following options which may be combined as desired:
